Plant protection
This area in landscape architecture, and especially in horticulture, is based on finding adequate measures to combat diseases and pests plants, and to a certain extent in ways of fighting weeds, as one of the most common problems on green areas.
Contemporary plant protection existing challenges are solved by integrating all available knowledge and good practices, which include chemical, but also preventive, mechanical and biological measures. When we talk about chemical measures, plant protection is ensured by the use of means for plant protection, which achieve their effect against harmful organisms thanks to active substances. When preparing and applying plant protection products, it is necessary to ensure safe use. In this way we do:
- Suppression of entomological damage
- Suppression of phytopathological damage
- Preventive (seasonal) protection
Listed categories plant protection in green areas are based on preventive or repressive measures of partial or complete removal of attacks by harmful organisms, be it insects, rodents or plant diseases. After the newly formed green areas, our proposal is to start immediately with preventive measures in order to avoid the appearance of overpopulation of insects or a greater settlement of pathogens.
In cases where we take care of the elderly green areas, our team plant protectionist on the ground, it carries out detailed checks of all undesirable residents, based on which we draw up a detailed plan of combat measures, if necessary, in order to
act on the problem in the most efficient way possible and thus protect and even save certain plants in the park or your yard.
The next step is to return to the subject green area and treatment plants chemical means (pesticides) in order to control diseases, weeds, harmful insects, mites and other harmful organisms. In current practice, the most commonly used means
are:
- insecticides - means for controlling harmful insects;
- herbicides - weed suppressants;
- fungicides - agents for suppressing fungi;
- nematocides – agents for controlling harmful nematodes;
- limacids - means for suppressing snails;
- acaricides - agents for controlling mites.
So, plant protection is an extremely important maintenance category green areas, because if it is left out, harmful organisms, with their constant presence and action, can damage plants, lawns and even garden furniture to such an extent that it is simply impossible to save anything.
